    In 2025 I covered 73 shows. I snapped and edited hundreds of photos for each, edited videos of the performances, and wrote about every single one. It nearly killed me. Here are the ones that made it a pleasure. Please click to read about each.

    In 2026 I'd like to do a few out-of-town dates with a band, so if you'd like to have me tag along, please get in touch. That'd be fun.

    Once again, thank you to all the local bands, labels, venues, promoters, record stores, photographers, writers, and fans in Kansas City that make it what it is. And thank you to the touring bands who give a small Midwestern market like Kansas City a chance.
